The Road to Hell is Paved with Parsnips: Randy's old, sometimes good buddy, Charlie is accused of murder most foul and Randy and Bertha must stash him away from the fingers of the law and discover the truth. What they uncover are parsnip hijackings and strange goings-on, vegetable cartels, and demons.
While north to the parsnip fields Randy falls into the clutches of Freydis, the queen of the Huldufolk, who don't usually take kindly to strangers. She's willing to make an exception for Randy if he signs their agreement in blood. All he has to do is rescue several loads of parsnips from an army of villains, get the vegetables back to the city in time for the Annual Parsnip Festival, discover who the mastermind behind the hijackings is, and clear Charlie's occasionally good name that leads him into the depths of a dangerous building in search of answers.
ʼTwas the Week Before the Night: Holidaze Interuptus. Randy and Bertha are forced to undertake a dangerous mission on a rickety space service and repair vehicle in order to prevent ruthless space-faring pirates from capturing an orphanage filled with small children and selling them as slaves to work in the asteroid mines. All our heroes have to do is get to the moon Calypso before Crispness Eve and transport the children and their annoying headmistress safely to Titan. Then Captain Rinch and his pirates show up and they are not very happy.
Daring battles aboard spaceships, amazing rescues, Bertha in peril, Randy harassed, and will the patrol ship from Titan reach them in time? Will the pirates spoil everyone's Crispness Eve?
